-- Information about the crash:
So basically, whenever i press alt+tab to switch windows, my screen goes full black, I see a line of random characters (@ if I remember correctly) and then plasma restarts.

I just stumbled into this issue which seemed to occur every time I press alt+tab, i'll have a look if it still repeats after rebooting and after pushing this error.

If that's relevant, I had wallpaper engine installed, which is now removed as it was causing issues (and caused a full system block yesterday). I am now using picture of the day.

For extra context, I have two 4k screens, one 60hz the other 144hz on an nvidia gpu with open source drivers.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

Updated the system, rebooted, and the issue is still there.
From my testing, the working task switchers are:
- Cover Switch
- Flip switch

And by working I mean that they don't crash, but the rendering is still broken.

These just cause a crash :
- Compact
- Large Icons
- Sidebar
- Thumbnail grid
